Four of the six Pioneers athletic teams—women’s volleyball,
men’s soccer, and the men and women cross country team—began their seasons this
fall, representing PUC with their promising talent at both home and away games.

I had one of the best Christmas
breaks! Over the break, I was able to work a few days with my dad, spend time
with my brothers, and be as lazy as my parents would let me. All those things
were great, but the best thing that happened this Christmas break was getting
engaged to my girlfriend of over two years, Lauren Armstrong. Asking her wasn’t
the hard part; asking her dad for his permission was. It was one of the most
nerve-racking things I have ever done in my life. After he gave me the thumbs
up, it was easy sailing from there.

Now that the break is over, it’s
time to get back into school mode. Starting off this new quarter is exciting.
My goal is to graduate this June, so I’m doing what I need to do in order to
get that accomplished. I am currently taking 19 credits for winter quarter.
Taking so many credits can get stressful at times, but luckily I have ways to
relieve some stress. Keeping up with a regular exercise routine definitely
helps. Another one is my job working for PUC’s landscaping department. Being
able to work outdoors and get my hands dirty is a great way to enjoy work and
relieve some stress at the same time.

I look forward to graduating this
year and getting things ready to get married in the spring of 2014. Life is
definitely getting good!
